Join us on Saturday, March 28th for the Trans Youth Summit 2026!

This is a FREE event for youth and young adults (ages 25 and under) who are transgender, nonbinary, and/or gender expansive. Our Summit features a keynote speaker, workshops, discussion groups, and free gender-affirming wear!

The government has to read every comment submitted. Public comments will be open until February 17, 2026.

Protect trans youth and their right to receive evidence-based gender-affirming care by submitting your comment!

Whenever the federal government wants to create, change, or repeal a regulation, there’s an open comment period for the public to submit their ideas.

Federal Action Alert!

Help Protect Youth Gender-Affirming Care!

The Department of Health and Human Services is considering implementing two new regulations that would effectively ban transgender and nonbinary youth from receiving transition-related healthcare.

Previously, when people legally changed their name in MA, they were required to publish notice of the change in a local newspaper. Additionally, a public record of name changes was available for anyone who requested it from the court.

Governor Healey signed an end-of-year Fiscal Year 2025 supplemental budget that includes this amendment. With this signature, the new law takes effect immediately!

This law removes the requirement for public notice of a legal name change and ensures all name change records be kept confidential.
